    Freelance artists hold the contradictory position of being semi-autonomous wage-earners. I find this diagram helpful for understanding why they tend to hold certain positions. Also explains why they ally with big companies using IP law against LLM companies. Because they don’t want to become proletarianized.

    So as a force of proletarianization, wouldn’t the technology be historically progressive in a Marxist sense? I still hate it though.
